Here is my problem: I connected my camera to my MacBook, Image Capture opened automatically. Instead of clicking "Import", I decided to select all the pictures and drag them to the iPhoto icon in the dock (iPhoto was not opened at that moment). My pictures started to import but iPhoto didn't turn on so I opened iPhoto after the import was finished. But the pictures were not there and not in Image Capture/my camera either. I tried to do some search by the name of the file but nothing, and it's not in "All pictures" in Finder. No trace, huh. How could it be that they disapperead completely? I would really love have those pictures

So thanks in advance if anyone can help!

I am sorry for panicking before before trying every method I can, problem solved now. It will teach me not to delete files from camera before I am sure they were safely imported and to import directly in iPhoto.

In case anyone ever has a similar problem and finds this thread, I found my pictures by filename with "Find Any File" application. (Thomas Tempelmann - Applications - Find Any File)
